Shocking: How Yoruba Magazine, Alariya Oodua's Late Publisher, Lanre Dodo Balogun Saw His Death A Day Before He Died

+ His Last Investigative Story Revealed


Like in W.B.Yeat's poem titled: An Irish Airman Foresees His Death, a recent disclosure has revealed that popular Yoruba entertainment magazine, Alariya Oodua's publisher, Lanre Dodo Balogun must have foreseen his death about 24 hours before he actually passed on. 

According to an exclusive information reaching Saheed Ojubanire Online, Dodo as the deceased was fondly called who breathed his last on Tuesday, 27th October, 2015, had on Monday, 26th October, travelled to Abeokuta, Ogun State, in the company of a popular presenter of a mystic programme on radio and a veteran actor turned Special Assistant to a popular herbal medicine manufacturer in Lagos, to dig into a particularly story of interest to the three of them.

Findings revealed that the story had to do with an undying murder case involving a female up and coming Islamic artiste and the matter had been incidented at Eleweran police headquarters in Abeokuta which the trio had gone to pry into what was called a new development about the case.

However, according to our impeccabile source, the trio was met with an embarrassment by one of the policemen in charge of the case as they were walked out on the premise that journalists were not expected to interfere with the case.

Having been walked out, the trio decided to go for a meal of Amala at an area called Ijaye in Abeokuta. And while they were having the delicacy, Dodo reportedly told the popular radio presenter that he would like him to be one of his guests at his house on January 1st, 2016.

Our source squeeled further that Dodo said he had stored about 20 cartons of drinks already in preparation for the new year's day and he was planning to buy more. And then, he went quiet.

But what Dodo said next would shock you.The next statement, reportedly from Dodo was that, he only hoped that the drinks he bought would not be used for his own burial!It was after he said the same thing the second time that the radio presenter was quoted to have responded with "God forbid," before imploring Dodo not to utter such a morbid statement again.

Then, after paying for their meal, they headed back to Lagos in the vehicle belonging to the Special Assistant to the herbal doctor in which they all had travelled to Abeokuta earlier in the day.

As a matter of fact, the radio presenter was said to have been in a long discussion with Dodo early in the morning on the Tuesday he died.The presenter was said to be urging Dodo to come along to Abeokuta that day on the same matter they went the previous day as a more solid arrangement had been made for them from above. But Dodo insisted he was not going, the reason the presenter was said to have decided not to go as well.


But alas! The next information the presenter would hear about Dodo was when the Special Assistant to the herbal doctor called to break the news of Dodo's death which was later confirmed by the presenter when he paid a visit to Dodo's house immediately.


This life!
